    The draft has never been abolished in germany, it has only officially been ‘suspended’. Resuming it would be easy.

      Except that you need to actually house, feed, clothe and train those draftees and most western militaries no longer have the capacity to do that at scale.

      The fact that it is legally easy does not say anything about how difficult it will be organizationally

      Legally yes it would be easy. Practically we do not have the infrastructure anymore for it.

      Heck iirc the state doesn’t even have the capability to know who would need to be drafted anymore.
